Kingston relieved as UCC dig it out

UCC 1-18

Pay little heed to the final scoreline. The five-point difference made a mockery of the fight tabled by DCU. Even UCC manager Tom Kingston acknowledged as much afterwards.

With 18 minutes remaining in this Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final, the visitors to the Mardyke found themselves in front 0-14 to 0-13. They had momentum, they had the wind and it also appeared they had UCC’s number.
